RE: Dumas Deep Vee kits- how are they, what hardware?
Mine is a wood kit with lots of stuff modified. Engine, drive line, motor lower. extraglass where I cut bulks for the engine to lower. I have seen a lot of people scratch building with not much experience. But I would build a couple kits if you never have build before Ive been scratch building airplanes for 25years so boats are a walk in the park compared to some of the planes I put together.
